RSS Spacers

hey guys

just ordered some RSS spacers from Suncoast Porsche. - paid $300 or so shipped.

I am running the oem sport classic wheels (Mk1 GT3 look). I believe they are 18x7.5 and 18x10.

I went with 7mm up front and 15mm in the rear. My car is on oem suspension and running 225/265 tires.

Looking to get some H&R springs done this summer - not sure yet as I don't want to compromise the ride

Anyone running this set up? if so got any pics?

I also have 996 hr with springs with OEM shocks, I'd say these two measures on your own?

when i got the car it already had hr springs, but the fronts had corroded... We took it apart and noticed it already had Bilstein HD's and upgraded sway bars and were in very good shape ( i think millenniums came with the ROW 030) so i swapped the springs, added spacers in the rear nag got a pretty aggressive alignment. I am very happy, car handles quite well, very well planted at any rate of speed. I was going to upgrade the suspension, but honestly don't see the reason.
I want to add that the day i added the spacers, i could tell the difference in turn in, a little slower, but i felt once in the turn, more confidence (probably since its a C4 with PSM). Like i said, i love the stance it has with 15mm in the back, my next tires will be 285/30.
